Despite being all but assured of a playoff spot at this point the Rangers are still fighting for positioning, you don't let off the gas and coast into the playoffs at this point, that's a bad bad idea. AV has been great at rolling 4 lines and giving the team rest days this season, I don't think that they need a rest in general. If McDonagh needs some time I think he'll sit but it'd be idiotic to sit a bunch of other players to "rest up" for the playoffs at this point.

Keep going, try to clinch 2nd in the division, keep the team hot and ready to do damage in the playoffs.

If there are players playing with nagging injuries, it wouldn't be the dumbest move to make at game 81 and 82. Not now, I agree.
